Review
Who had the best plumbing system in the ancient world? At what sporting event, according to Ovid, did a Roman stand the best chance of meeting a potential spouse? Where did Romans bathe? Filled with easy-to-follow text and lots of pictures, the Eyewitness Guide to Ancient Rome answers these questions and more, explaining how this legendary civilization rose from city-state to superpower, and how men, women and children each played a role in this fascinating society.
Learn about household goods and gods, gladiators and their bloody arenas, chariot races, and Roman theatre. Learn which herbs were considered powerful healers. View examples of medical instruments, the sword of Tiberius, and the contents of a burial urn. Find out that although pasta and tomatoes were not yet part of their diet, olives, bread and wine dominated Roman cuisine as early as the first century AD. Hundreds of eye-catching photographs bring to life a culture unrivalled.
Synopsis
Part of a series, this visual guide to Ancient Rome gives an insight into the lives of the people that lived in ancient Rome. Every aspect of Roman life is covered, from the cooking utensils they used and the food that they ate, to the instruments they used to cleanse and beautify themselves.
